Re: exim defering local deliveries
What are the permissions on /var/spool/mail and /var/spool/mail/<user>?
I think Debian's exim wants the mail files writeable by the mail user. It
is also possible that there are two exim processes trying to write mail to
the mailbox at the same time so one gets deferred. Exim can have multiple
simultanious delivery attempts happening.
